    Good info man, keep it going! I bought a traxxas 10 years+ ago that was my first rotostart engine and I thought I was in the future. Now after all these years I'll take a tight pullstart over the drill any day, way less hassles I find.

    I fully agree with you about pull starters. People make a HUUUUUUUGE deal how they pull starters suck soo bad, but it’s simply because people are dopey and yank the pull starter WAYY too far.For me, as if my pull starter starts to give me heaven resistance, I simply stop, remove the glow plug, put a rag over the engine head and pull a few times to try to clear out the flood, clean the glow plug, test it, put it back, and go at it again. And tha5 drama only happens when I don’t have access to a heat gun. I’ve learned tha5 when I pre heat my engine with a heat gun pretty hot, and the settings are right, it fires right up in a few short quick pulls. Pull starters are fine! People are too dramatic about the littlest things like that. This was a useful vid! I wanna try this for the heck of it. I actually have a hpi firestorm 10t 3.0 nitro engine so hopefully it’s the kind like your hpi where it will work with a socket

    Thank you very much mate, you've just told me everything I wanted to know.
    I had a Cen Truggy years ago that I'd drill start & the motor went bad, it started leaking fuel out everywhere..
    I had a suspicion it was because I'd over primed it.. Now I know for sure..
    I have a bad back & bending down & yanking is something I'd rather avoid..
    I went over to the dark side & switched to brushless but I've been jonesing for that smell & noise of nitro, I don't even care it they're not as quick as electric now.!!!
    It's just not RC for me without nitro.!
    I've just gotten an FTX Nitro Zorro & I thought I'd better just check before going out to run it...
    Thank you so much..
    Stay safe out there mate & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏👍🏻👍🏾👍

    Pull starts are fine. If it doesn’t start, there’s something wrong with the either the operator or there’s something wrong with the engine. I’ve been on the end of both haha! Both make your eyes spin in separate orbits 😂 Just picked up a roto start to play with. I’m running HPI-Force big blocks so should be interesting. I think probably it’s best to use pull start from cold. Once it’s warm and been running, I’m hoping the risks with a Roto/drill are reduced 🤔

Never thought about what kinda damage the drill could do. I'll just have to pay close attention when I prime the motor. Do you think you can do a vid on the throttle and brake set up!

      I have the exceed-rc madwarrior .21 nitro engine and since they don’t seem to be selling replacements anymore (because it’s a very old company), I purchased an internal one way bearing that looks the exact same (hoping it fits the same) from redcat.
      I’m also looking to get an ez start mechanism, because in theory if it bolts on, it should hold that little smooth starter shaft (that would normally slip out when drill starting) - in place. If it seems loose, or like it has room to come out I will order a pull start instead, or fill the extra space in with something so it cant budge any.
      Does this seem alright to do?

      Don't waste your time on the original engine. Buy a dynamite 28RTR they are like 115$ USD drops in with no modifications and is a better more powerful engine. Also order the OS lc3 glow plug for it if your running 20% nitro or the OS LC4 if your running 30% nitro.

    Dude I honestly dont know how anyone could deal with nitro at all. I got a stampede pro 15 for $50 knowing full well that I dislike nitro from the special hell that is proprod motors. My brother said he wanted to get one because he is too lazy to charge a battery so I thought I'd go for it, tune it up and give it to him. I thought it was a good deal. I was wrong on all fronts. You might get the thing to run for 5 seconds frantically adjusting the carb to try to keep the thing alive. Mind you the idle screw is nearly impossible to turn because the gas tank is in the way and the motor vibrates frantically. By the third drill battery your throat burns from the exhaust and you have fuel everywhere and all over yourself. Plus you'll probably need a new one way bearing. The glow plug warmers are always crap and you have to hold them down to make them work. It's like you need a third arm just to get the damn things to kick over. When it does run, the behavior is so unpredictable that its impossible to run the car without slamming into something when it randomly goes full throttle on you. The pull starts break right after you go through the experience of fixing them. I can tune an old British carb or holly no problem but these things are impossible and infuriating. I cant even tell if its running too rich or too lean. Honestly its both and I cant fix it and get it to start afterwards without ruining the running adjustment. After thorough inspection, the thing seems like it should work great but refuses to do so just to spite you. How they ever run at all is an enigma and I don't know why I ever thought I'd try them again. I think Ill just stick to my 6s multirotor from now on, fuck...

      Hit up the Nitro RC enthusiasts group on Facebook. It's probably simpl the pro 15s are very easy to run. I have 5 of them they run awesome! Fuel or exhaust system leaks wrong glow plug and poor quality fuel will be the problem unless it is warn of.

      Not sure what that is Now there is a video floating around of a guy who has his set up direct drive with no clutch and you can actually push start your car but it's pretty much pointless because as soon as you stopped the engine stalls
